Hi frnd,

i think v need to specify the 'bin' and 'quote site trail' command to put the file using FTP?

hi khamarutheen,

BIN is coded only if u need to send the input file data in the binary format ,later at the receiving end they will encrypt it to normal data..

regards,
sathish

I tried using the above code provided by Radhakrishnan. I wanted to upload a file from my local machine to mainframe. But it gave me following error...

FTP: EXIT has been set.
Connect to ?
XXX.XX.XX.XXX
Connecting to: XXX.XX.XX.XXX port: 21.
recv error from getNextReply - EDC8128I Connection refused. (errno2=0x769F0442)
Connection with XXX.XX.XX.XXX terminated
*** Control connection with XXX.XX.XX.XXX dies.
Std Return Code = 10000, Error Code = 00008

I think this is happening because of some firewall settings. But I am able to upload/download files manually. i.e. using START --> 6 option from the local machine with the same id.

Could someone please guide me what needs to be done here?

gauravk, let me see if I understand you correctly:

You're saying that you can, from TSO, open up and log into an FTP session to the remote FTP server on port 21, yet on the exact same machine, submitting a job to run the same FTP process in the background, you're being denied access to the same server?

- Does your FTP session from TSO use the same RACF ID as the batch job? Could it be a security issue?

- Are you sure that the remote FTP server was active when this error occured? Is it possible that the FTPD daemon needs to be started on the remote server?

- You'll probably need a network engineer to run a diagnostic trace with a network sniffer. You don't have many diagnostic tools available, other than the normal ones like PING, TRACERTE, and NETSTAT.

Thanks for replying.
You have got it right. I am able to FTP the file from TSO. Following is the command getting submitted on TSO command line for this -

IND$FILE PUT '<host file name>' ASCII CRLF RECFM(V) LRECL(133)

Just a couple of doubts -
1. I need to connect to the local machine from host. So I have to specify ip address of my machine in the input file.
2. If this is a problem of FTP server not being active on my/remote machine then even the TSO command should fail.

Please let me know if above points are valid. Also specify how can I check which RACF IDs are getting used for batch job and FTP session from TSO.

IND$FILE is not the TSO FTP command. FTP is the TSO FTP command. IND$FILE has nothing to do with FTP. It is a proprietary, unsupported and undocumented file transfer mechanism that works between a 3270 emulation program and a PC. IND$FILE can only function if you are logged onto the mainframe host from the emulation software. There is no possibility of batch functionality.

Hi,

I am trying to upload a file by using the above JCL but unable to transfer the file.

The below file XK89.HT is a html file and I am trying to upload that report to my website.

Host name : ftp . 0fees . net or 209.190.85.248
User ID : FEES0_3240211
Password : XXYYZZ

Not sure about this part..

First, you're responding to a thread that has been inactive for 3 years.

Second, you may need a backslash or a forward slash in the cd -- it depends on whether you're going to a Windows server or a Unix server.

Third, the INPUT DD name contains the FTP commands, not the file you're trying to send.

Fourth, the JCL is

Hi Robert,

Many thanks for your time and the explanation. I corrected JCL accordingly.

I am trying to upload some reports from Mainframe (HTML format) to a webserver (ftp.0fees.net) --> free web hosting site

This FTP host(ftp.0fees.net) reponds if we use FTP softwares like Filezilla (PC) to upload files.

But if we try to ping the site from mainframes, it just does not respond,

I am very new to FTP. So having trouble with it.

The error that comes up is...

why not ask Your support ??

Hello,

Why are there 2 different sites in your post?

Robert Sample · Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 11:59 pm

Connection timing out, especially before the initial handshaking is complete, is typically either a firewall issue (router blocking the connection) or the server isn't listening on port 21. It is rare in my experience for there to be a firewall running on a mainframe blocking access -- it's usually a router issue.

If you can't ping the server from the mainframe, I would tend to believe there's a network issue with a router preventing access. This is an issue you absolutely must talk to the network support group about since the precise problem and its resolution will depend upon your network setup. There are sites where mainframe access from the Internet is blocked for various reasons, so again your site network support group needs to be involved.

oh sorry.. I was trying with many free web hosting sites, so accidentally posted the other log.

I was unable to FTP to both the sites.

Hello,

As far as i know, anything that uses tcp/ip can be setup behind a firewall.
